Configure RIP Dynamic Routing

Language:

This task configures dynamic routing with the redistribution feature of RIP in SEFOS. This task also verifies the accessibility of the two hosts by learning the routes dynamically through RIP.

See Routing Feature Topology for the topology of this task.

Verify that SEFOS-1 and SEFOS-2 still have the configuration information that you saved.
See Configure Static Unicast Route Entries.

The basic VLAN configuration for dynamic routing is similar to the basic VLAN configuration for static routing. If the configuration information was not saved on SEFOS-1 and SEFOS-2, follow Step 1 through Step 6 in Configure Static Unicast Route Entries, then return here.

Enable the RIP protocol on SEFOS-1.

SEFOS-1# configure terminal
SEFOS-1(config)# router rip
SEFOS-1(config-router)# neighbor 20.0.0.200
SEFOS-1(config-router)# network 20.0.0.201
SEFOS-1(config-router)# network 10.0.0.201
SEFOS-1(config-router)# redistribute all
SEFOS-1(config-router)# end

Enable the RIP protocol on SEFOS-2.

SEFOS-2# configure terminal
SEFOS-2(config)# router rip
SEFOS-2(config-router)# neighbor 20.0.0.201
SEFOS-2(config-router)# network 20.0.0.200
SEFOS-2(config-router)# network 40.0.0.200
SEFOS-2(config-router)# redistribute all
SEFOS-2(config-router)# end

If SEFOS-2 is a third-party switch, verify that the RIP is enabled on SEFOS-2 and that related configurations are applied accordingly.

Check the routing database on SEFOS-1.

SEFOS-1# show ip rip database
Vrf default 
10.0.0.0/8 [1] auto-summary
10.0.0.0/24 [1] directly connected, vlan10 
20.0.0.0/8 [1] auto-summary 
20.0.0.0/24 [1] directly connected, vlan20
40.0.0.0/8 [2] auto-summary 
40.0.0.0/8 [2] via 20.0.0.200, vlan20

Check the routing database on SEFOS-2.

SEFOS-2# show ip rip database
Vrf default 
10.0.0.0/8 [2] auto-summary 
10.0.0.0/8 [2] via 20.0.0.201, vlan20 
20.0.0.0/8 [1] auto-summary 
20.0.0.0/24 [1] directly connected, vlan20 
40.0.0.0/8 [1] auto-summary 
40.0.0.0/24 [1] directly connected, vlan40

Ping the VLAN interface on VLAN 10 on SEFOS-1 from blade server B.
```
# ping 10.0.0.201
```

Ping blade server A from blade server B.
```
# ping 10.0.0.169
```

Ping blade server B from blade server A.
```
# ping 40.0.0.110
```
You can test the basic routing features of SEFOS now that SEFOS is able to dynamically learn the routing entries using the redistribution feature of RIP.
